SAM ALLARDYCE is yet to discuss a new contract with West Ham United, co-owner David Sullivan has confirmed.

The Hammers manager has enjoyed a strong start to the season, guiding his team into the Premier League's European spots with nine wins and four draws from 18 games.

Allardyce's current deal end in the summer and the 60-year-old has previously said he wants to oversee West Ham's move to the Olympic Stadium in 2016.

But Sullivan concedes the manager has done so well over the past six months West Ham may struggle to keep him.

"I must say if come April we are where we are now, which is extremely unlikely but is possible, we'd probably sit down a month early and say, 'Look Sam, do you want to stay or do you want to go?' Sam may decide he wants to go out a winner," Sullivan told the Sunday Telegraph.
